Dragomir Omake

[Asrana]

Ariana giggled, "Listening to Asrana talk about you, you seem quite interesting. And there's nothing like meeting someone in person to get to know them..."

Her eyes roamed around the room, settling on the katana Asrana had given Wraith, she smiled slightly as she saw it.

[Bean Bandit]

Wraith smiled wryly.

"What has she said about me? Bear in mind, the good stuff is probably exaggeration..."

He caught her glance at the sword.

"You recognize this, huh?"

[Asrana]

She nodded, "It was a sword given to Asrana when she turned sixteen...one of three. She uses the other two."

Ariana smiled, "It has a specific purpose beyond combat...though she likely will want to reveal that purpose to you herself..." Her eyes twinkled mischeviously as she said it.

[Bean Bandit]

Wraith gave her a sour grin.

"Naturally. Wouldn't be an ordinary day without someone teasing me with information, then telling me someone else will tell me," he griped good naturedly. "Oh well, I suppose I'll find out later."

"...What kind of stories has she been telling about me?"

[Asrana]

Ariana flushed, "Gomen...but she probably really would get angry if I told you..."

She smiled slightly, "Mostly about what it's like to travel with you...and how you fight..."

[Bean Bandit]

"Huh? Why would she get angry if you told?" he asked curiously.

He blinked at Ariana. "Traveling, heh...I can imagin-Eh?How I fight? Hm...Why is that interesting? I'm not much compared to you guys..."

[Asrana]

Ariana shook her head, "Any more info and you might guess..."

She giggled, "You aren't that bad compared to most of us...just Asrana and her parents. Noone can match up to them except maybe dad..."

[Bean Bandit]

"I have a funny feeling if you told, I'd end up regretting I asked, anyway," he said ruefully.

Wraith grinned. "It's nice of you to say so...but I don't even remember how I learned...hmm. Your dad? Who's that?"

[Asrana]

Ariana giggled, "Perhaps...perhaps not."

She shrugged at the mention of her father, "Outsiders call him Demos, that was his assassin name when he worked for our Guild. But Asrana calls him Farenal and so does Auntie Seraya..."

[Bean Bandit]

"Demos?" Wraith managed to look impressed. "Even I'VE heard of him...So you're his kid, eh?"

Wraith thought a moment, then grinned. "Why don't you tell me some stories about Asrana? You must know a few good ones, eh?"

[Asrana]

Ariana giggled, "Yep...one of five..."

She smiled, "I know some...but the times I knew her before she became like our parents is hard to remember..."

[Bean Bandit]

Wraith smiled. "Oh well..." he said, sitting down on the bed, moving the bouquet off to the side.

"Hmm...so, what else would you like to know? There isn't much more about me to tell, but you can ask..."

[Asrana]

Ariana's smile seemed to silently laugh, and yet her voice seemed deadly serious. "How much you love my cousin. And how long oyu intend to make this last..."

[Bean Bandit]

Had anyone else asked that, Wraith would have become annoyed, but for some reason, it didn't bother him that Ariana had asked.

"Well, It's a fair question. Both of them, actually. Unfortunately...the right words don't exist to answer the firt question," he said seriously.

"And, as for the second...I have to keep it a secret." he winked. "...but, I will tell you this...It'll be a long time, if Asrana feels the same way I feel about her."

[Asrana]

Ariana smiled and stood up, "Good...that's what I really wanted to know. After seeing her heart broken four times...I won't allow it EVER again." Her eyes were ice cold and deadly as she spoke, the words filled with an  iron will.

Her face seemed to soften as she glanced back over him. Flashing a smile, she turned and left, her boots not even whispering on the polished stone as she glided out.
